Pelosi's countdown: She ticks off a list of changes, including a new Iraq strategy

In an interview from her Capitol office, Pelosi characterized Tuesday's vote as a referendum on the war, shrugged off President Bush's efforts to make her liberalism a national issue, described the current GOP leadership as a "freak show," and expressed confidence about her party's prospects to pick up the 15 seats it needs for a majority.

"We're going to take back the country for the American people -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- because it has been held hostage by the radical right wing of the Republican Party," Pelosi said.

"This is a freak show, and it has to come to an end," Pelosi said. "This is about a Congress and White House whose purpose is to concentrate wealth into the top 1 percent of our country at the expense of the middle class."

If Democrats win, and Speaker Dennis Hastert is forced to hand the gavel to Pelosi, "I'll receive it, in my view, from the hands of special interests on behalf of America's future."

Pelosi ... said her greatest concern is over the integrity of the count -- from the reliability of electronic voting machines to her worries that Republicans will try to manipulate the outcome.

And if it comes to that, once again every allegation of a bad count will occur in Democrat controlled areas where Democrats ran the election to begin with and Democrat controlled boards would conduct the recount. Very strange that GOP districts seem not to have these problems.

Oh but it can. They may be doing their best to not talk about the Dem agenda before the election, but they'll be talking about it plenty on Wednesday if they win.

C'mon, Howlin. Don't be such a pessimist. We've only been painted as far right wing by the msm and the disloyal opposition, whose command of the hearts and minds of Americans diminishes a little more every day.

They've already succeeded in coloring all of us as far right wing. I don't look for another GOP president in my lifetime.

Big deal. They've been using this brush on us since Reagan won the primary in 1980.

For the country, pray and love.
For family, pray, laugh and love.
They’re pushing the worst.
And would force the worst.
With a mask of a smile, they’d rule the day,
And scrape the crumbs of goodness away.
Under the mask where contempt resides—and hate,
For every divinely inspired render, the stool,
To heaven where every blessing resides and good fate.
They would take over our lives and be the fool.

Vote against children,
Vote against church,
Vote against the pledge,
Vote against marriage,
Vote against her heart,
Vote against America.
That’s what democrats do.
They vote against you.

This is a freak show, and it has to come to an end," Pelosi said

Yes, Nancy: You and your party are a freak show, and will lose, again, this Tuesday.

wow! That photo is so revealing. Nancy didn't really want to even touch Cindy. Cindy didn't want to be sitting closer to Nancy. Heck of a photo!
